Description
What kind of wine is it
Dr. L.O. Riesling Sparkling Zero Alcohol is a non-alcoholic sparkling wine produced by Dr. Loosen, made from Rhine Riesling grapes. In the glass, it displays a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights and a fine perlage. The aromatic profile is fruity, characterised by notes of pineapple, mango and fresh hints of lime. On the palate, it is delicate, with the sweetness of the fruit well balanced by the lively acidic tension typical of the grape variety, finishing with a clean and refreshing aftertaste. It is a versatile label, ideal for food pairing with fish dishes, fresh cheeses or white meats.
Where does it come from
The grapes grow in the Moselle Valley, a German region historically renowned for Rhine Riesling. The vineyards are situated on rocky slate soils with frequent outcrops, a composition that gives the wine a defined organoleptic profile and marked verticality. Dr. Loosen's presence in this area dates back over two centuries, demonstrating a deep knowledge of the terroir. These environmental conditions favour balanced ripening, allowing for a base that retains its freshness of flavour even after processing.
How is it produced
The process begins with the manual harvesting of the bunches, followed by vinification in stainless steel. To preserve the original aromas and the natural sweetness of the fruit, fermentation is halted by lowering the temperature. The sparkling process follows the steps of the Traditional Method, giving the bubbles structure and finesse. The subsequent removal of alcohol is carried out through gentle vacuum distillation, an ideal technique for maintaining the aromatic properties of the raw material without altering its balance. The final sip expresses all the varietal typicity, offering a pleasant and complete tasting experience.
History and Curiosities
In the heart of the Moselle Valley, the historic Loosen estate has been cultivating the prized Rhenish Riesling for over two centuries. Led since 1988 by Ernst Loosen, the winery combines a glorious heritage with refined innovation, offering an elegant alcohol-free sparkling wine of extraordinary charm. Produced from hand-picked grapes and vinified in steel, the process uses cold to halt fermentation and preserve the fruit's natural sweetness. The alcohol is then gently removed through vacuum distillation, ensuring a fine perlage and a refreshing finish.
